The Atmos Fear ride at Hull Fair

This ride features 16 outward-facing spinning and free looping seats as well as swinging 80 feet which takes you upside down, allowing passengers to experience both a weightless sensation and g-force of 4.5.

Much like Hull Fair favourite Air , it will leave you totally disorientated.

Bungee ride

Known as the reverse bungee, it is probably the most expensive ride at the fair which will put many people off but it is also one of the flagship attractions. In your metal ball, you are raised into the air slowly before being launched into the sky at stomach churning speed.

It combines height, disorientation and the cold sweat-inducing realisation you are hanging by a thread.

This is the slightly shorter brother of the Starflyer ride but they are both two of the tallest rides at the fair at well over 100ft. Hanging by worryingly small chains, you spin round as you rise to the top. This is not an adrenaline rush but the views from the top are stunning.

Meanwhile, a number of rides have already arrived in Hull as they prepare to assemble and test the rides before the grand opening.

He said: "The fair gets bigger and better every year and I should know, as I'm 54, and I've been coming for 54 years.

“The big new ride XXL has already arrived as has the Crazy Mouse rollercoaster and the Starflyer. The giant funhouse and a couple of the waltzers are also here.”

There will be dozens of rides for adults and families with traditional favourites such as dodgems and waltzers as well as a variety of faster and higher rides offering extra thrills and spills and views over the fairground and across Hull.

The fair brings 80 rides for children including trampolines, fun houses, helter skelters and mini versions of other rides such as mini Miami, mini waltzers and jumping jack.

For those who like to keep their feet firmly on the ground there are in excess of 100 stalls offering games such as bingo, hook-a-duck and darts as well as an array of food outlets bringing food from around the world.
